Well, Shubman Gill and his team will face tough challenges on the English terms, and without their iconic trio, he has all retired from Test cricket, without their iconic trio, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin. They will certainly miss the experience of the British trio.

Speaking about his bowling performance, Jasprit Bumrah was no longer on the ticket gates. However, Mohammed Siraj and Prashid Krishna were able to grab two wickets each for the senior side, but the senior pacer proved to be much more expensive in the ball against India.
India fought back steadily, finishing day 299/6. Shardul Thakur and Ishan Kishan were undefeated in the stump fold. Sai Sudharsan and Abhimanyu Easwaran got off to a decent start, but they couldn’t convert them into big scores.
The practice game has provided good preparation for the team so far. Some players have made strong early statements ahead of the big Test series.
